Happy New Year!
It's 2017!!!
It seems impossible that our school year is almost at the half way point. I am super proud of this class and the hard work that each student puts in each and every day. They continue to keep me on my toes, make me smile and laugh, and wow me!!!
We are entering another busy time for 4th graders. Below is some very important information. As always, please send me an email at jlaurent@kimberly.k12.wi.us if you have any questions.
We are looking for donations for our annual 4th Grade Lumberjack Day which will be held on Friday, January 20th. Please consider signing up to donate.

Students can dress up for Lumberjack Day on January 20th. We typically see flannel shirts, jeans, and sometimes knit or coon hats. Some children will come with fake mustaches and/or beards but that is not necessary. Also, we have had girls dress in long dresses (similar to Little House dresses with bonnets). Typically though, girls dress in flannel shirts too...and come more like Lumberjacks. Please do NOT go out and buy anything. Just make something from home work...even jeans and a plain colored shirt are great!
Our Woodland Box Tops competition is underway. Please send in any Box Tops you've collected. Our class would LOVE to win the competition!
The BINGO and Basket Raffle Family Night is scheduled for March 3rd. Our classroom theme basket for this year is Gift Cards. Please consider sending in a gift card to be placed into our basket. Address the envelope to me and write Basket Raffle on the outside. I will be sure to get all donations taken care of. THANK YOU!!!!
Lastly, many students are coming to school without the proper snow clothing. All students need to wear boots and snow pants for each recess. Students go outside as long as the temperature and wind chill are above 0*. I recommend two pairs of gloves so that your child has a dry pair for each recess. To ease the burden of your child carrying so much, I have also recommended for your child to leave their shoes at home and wear their gym shoes at school. Please help remind your child to bring their snow clothes EVERYDAY until further notice. THANK YOU!
